An: sorry it dragged but the last chapter was more of a filler

Are we growing up, or just going down?
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
Take our tears, put 'em on ice.
'Cause I swear I'd burn the city down to show you the light.

We're the therapists pumping through your speakers,
Delivering just what you need.
We're well-read and poised,
We're the best boys.
We're the chemists who've found the formula,
To make your heart swell and burst.
No matter what they say, don't believe a word.

'Cause I'll keep singing this lie if you'll keep believing it.
I'll keep singing this lie, I'll keep singing this lie.

Are we growing up, or just going down?
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out.
Take our tears, put 'em on ice.
'Cause I swear I'd burn the city down to show you the light.

We'll travel like gypsies only
With worse luck and far less gold.
The kids you used to love,
But then we grew old.
We're the lifers here 'til the bitter end,
Condemned from the start.
Ashamed of the way,
The songs and the words own the beating of our hearts.

'Cause I'll keep singing this lie, I'll keep singing this lie.

Are we growing up, or just going down?
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out.
Take our tears, put 'em on ice.
'Cause I swear I'd burn the city down to show you the light.

Theres a drug in the thermostat
to warm the room up
and theres another around, to help us bend your trust
got a sunset in my veins
and i need to take a pill to make this town feel ok

The best part of "believe" is the "lie".
I hope you sing along and you steal a line.
I need to keep you like this in my mind.
So give in or just give up.
(x2)

Are we growing up, or just going down!

Are we growing up, or just going down?
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out.
Take our tears, put 'em on ice.
'Cause I swear I'd burn the city down to show you the light.

Sophomore slump or comeback of the year – fall out boy

Luke walked into Lorelai's house and was hit by a pillow. "What the?" He asked her. She was in the back of the couth searching frantically for something in the couch. "Lorelai what happened?" He asked.

"My shoe." She pouted standing up straight. "Rory." She got the phone and called Rory. "Do you have my black pumps…thanks." She hung up and ran into the kitchen.

"Why would your shoe be in the kitchen?" Luke asked following her. She opened the oven and found her shoe.

"With my socks." She said pulling them out. She put her socks back in and put her shoe on. "Got it."

"Not even going to ask." Luke said shaking his head.

She flashed him a smile and walked outside. "Where's your car?" She asked him.

"I walked." He said she sighed and got her keys out. "Here, you drive." She said handing him the keys.

"Ok." He shrugged and they got in the car.

88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888

"Ok. Last chance to back out." Lorelai said as he pulled into her old home.

"This is a house?" He asked.

Lorelai just rolled her eyes as he got out. He opened her door and she took her coat off. "Take yours off. Saves time." He gave her a look but did as he was told.

They went through the back way to the pool house and knocked on the door. No answer. Weird.

"Oh my God." She said sighing. She took his hand and they went back to the main house. Rory's car pulled up and she got out. "Nobody's at the pool house." Lorelai said.

Rory sighed. "Not a good sign." She said. "Let's just ring the door bell." Rory said.

Lorelai sighed and paused before doing it. A maid answered. "Is Emily here?" Lorelai asked peering over her shoulder.

"Lorelai?" Emily said coming out.

"One simple thing." Emily muttered.

"He's not there." Lorelai said handing her coat to the maid.

"He isn't?" Emily asked. "Maria go inform Richard's valet that the girls and Luke are here."

"Jeeves?" Lorelai asked. "His special friend?" Luke gave her hand a squeeze and she stopped, rolling her eyes.

"What was that Lorelai?" Emily asked her.

"Nothing." She said sighing.

"So Luke would you like a tour?" Emily asked him.

"No mom. He doesn't. There's the sitting room, and weird piano room we never named (btw I have one of those weird rooms and after I saw that eppy I was like to my mom: let's name it and she was like: no. haha.), the kitchen, the stairs that lead to rooms, and look the room with the drinks!" Lorelai said pulling him towards the living room. Luke gave Emily an apologetic smile but went with Lorelai.

Maria came into the room. "Miss. Gilmore his valet said that Mr. Gilmore left an hour ago and told him he might not be back for dinner." She said some what timidly.

"The nerve of that man." Emily fumed.

"Really mom. It's ok." Lorelai said rolling her eyes. "As long as we get the alcohol." Lorelai said a little too eagerly.

"Don't go all no cure for cancer mom. The drugs and alcohol." Rory said giggling.

"I am not a drunk." Lorelai said laughing.

"Taking the Bree route?" Rory asked

"Did you just make a desperate housewives reference?" Lorelai asked giggling.

"I'm never going to live that down." Rory said sighing.

"Girls." Emily scolded. "Might as well have drinks here." She said sighing.

"Gin martini." Lorelai said.

"Soda." Rory said.

"Luke?" Emily asked.

"I'll just have some water." Luke said.

Emily eyed their hands but didn't say anything. She led them to the living room where they all sat.

Rory sat in an over stuffed chair and Emily sat in a chair on the other side of the table. Lorelai and Luke took and couch still holding hands. Lorelai rested her hand on her thigh with Luke's on top of it.

Rory talked to Emily about things at Yale but Emily couldn't keep her eyes away from Lorelai and Luke. They were gazing intently at each other and speaking in hushed whispers.

"You nervous?" She asked with a smirk.

"Only because you're making me." He said. "I'll just imagine her in her underwear." He said but he couldn't take the words back.

"Dirty!" Lorelai said giggling a bit. "Have you ever seen Emily Gilmore in her underwear?" Lorelai asked. "Oh my God do you have a thing for my mother?" She asked her gaze going to her mom for a moment. Jeez, she's watching us. I wonder if she knows what we're talking about.

"Never. Nice mental image." Luke said rolling his eyes.

"I have a way to get rid of that picture for you." She said putting her face closer to his if that was possible.

"Sure your mom won't mind?" He breathed. Another moment and he would be a goner.

"Oh she would." Lorelai said giggling, pulling back a bit.

"So, Luke?" Emily said ruining their little moment.

"Yes Mrs. Gilmore?" Luke asked looking at her.

"Oh please. Call me Emily." She said. He nodded. "How did you tow meet?" She asked actually curious."

"Must have been at the diner right?" She asked looking at him.

"It was." He said softly. He took his wallet out and took a piece of paper out.

"Oh. My. God." She whispered taking the horoscope rubbing it between her fingers making sure it was real. "You kept it." She said whipping a stray tear that came out. He nodded and she read it out loud: Scorpio, you will meet an annoying woman today. Give her coffee and she'll go away. I'll say anything for a cup of coffee." She said giggling a little.

"I don't understand." Emily said looking at them.

"One day a woman came into my diner-"

"Oh was it me?" She interrupted.

"Shh. Well she wanted coffee. I told her to wait but she wouldn't so I told her to sit down shut up and I'd get to her when I got to her."

"I bet she took it real well cause she sounds just lovely." Lorelai interrupted again.

"She asked the man next to her for the horoscopes in the newspaper. He gave it to her and she asked me what my birthday was. I told her and she gave me this."

"But she never went away." She whispered.

"No. She didn't." He smiled putting it away. "You're just lucky I don't clean out my wallet." He said.

"Luke's a softy. Who knew? Rory did you?" She asked taking his hand again.

"Would have never guessed." Rory said looking at them smiling.

And for a moment, and only a moment Emily let herself think this was it for Lorelai but that moment was soon gone and she felt angry. How could Lorelai be this happy with a man that's not Chris? The angriness soon turned to sadness. She wanted that. The happiness. It seemed like the giddy stage in her daughter's relationship with the diner man would never end. "That's a nice story." Emily said a hint of sarcasm in her voice but everybody but Rory was oblivious to it and Rory just rolled her eyes at her grandmother.

"Dinner's ready." Maria said coming into the room.

"Let's go." Emily said ushering them into the dining room. Luke pulled Lorelai up and took her hand. That didn't go un-noticed by Emily and she rolled her eyes at them.

"Exhausting." Lorelai said to Rory when they were totally out of ear shot.

"Very." Rory agreed.

"Are you staying in the ol' hood this weekend?" Lorelai asked leaning into Luke.

"The Hollow's a hood now?" Rory asked slightly giggling. "I'm coming tomorrow because I have to work on paper stuff tonight but yes, I'm staying tomorrow."

"Yay." Lorelai was perking up but then she realized how tired she was and she yawned. "See you tomorrow kid. Bye." She said.

"By mom Bye Luke." Rory said.

"Bye." Luke said guiding Lorelai to her car.

8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888

Lorelai and Luke both wake up to the door bell.

"Argh." Lorelai said trying to get up but Luke's arm was around her waist.

"Hm?" Luke grumbled.

"Ignore the door." She said leaning into him again but the door bell kept ringing. She got up and went to the door of her room but looked down. "And I'm naked." She said laughing.

"I don't mind." He said smirking looking at her form the bed.

Lorelai rolled her eyes and put some sweat pants on and a flannel. "One second." She said kissing him leaving.

"Coming!" She yelled. She sounded loud even to herself. She shook her head and opened the door. "Dad…" She said looking him up and down.

"Where you sleeping? Oh I'm so sorry Lorelai." Richard said.

"No…it's ok. Come in." She said closing the door. "Coffee." She said going into the kitchen. "Do you want some?" She asked her father.

"Sure. Coffee sounds good." He said taking a seat. They sat only hearing the gurgling of the coffee machine. She poured them each a mug to the brim and then hesitated. "How do you like your coffee?" She asked.

"Black is fine." He said taking it. She nodded and put sugar in hers.

"So…" She said looking at him arching an eyebrow. She had an idea of what he was doing there but she wanted him to tell her.

"I miss her." He confessed looking down into his coffee.

"I know." She said softly looking at him. "I know." She said again nodding.

"How did this happen?" He asked looking her in the eyes.

"Honestly?" She asked. He nodded prepared for the worst. "You two are just so damn stubborn." She said shrugging.

"I know." He said. "I'm through with that." He said fiddling with his thumbs.

"You're telling the wrong person." She said. "And the disappearing act last night?" She asked.

"Your mother asked me not to come." Richard said perplexed.

"That…" Bitch. She silently cursed her mother.

"Lorelai…" Richard said.

"She said…and she did…and she…" she was completely lost in her thoughts now. She shook her head trying to put her thoughts in some sort of order. She was really mad too.

"I'm sorry." He said looking down. "She said…" He stopped not wanting to rat Emily out.

Lorelai put her hand out still processing. She put her hand down and nodded. "Just mom being mom." She said. "Stubborn." She laughed bitterly taking a sip of coffee.

Richard sighed. "What do I do?"

"Tell her." She said simply. Richard nodded.

"Thank you Lorelai." He said. "I shouldn't have done this." He said.

"Done what?" She asked.

"Come here. Spring this on you. You were sleeping." He said pointing to her attire.

"When am I ever not?" She asked trying to lighten the mood.

He chuckled and looked at her. His eyes full of sadness, "I just want her back." He said looking up.

She nodded. "I know." She said. "Go…tell her!" She said getting him up.

"Thank you Lorelai." He said.

"Go!" She said pushing him out. She shut the door and sighed. She looked down at herself and realized she missed the two middle buttons. She giggled softly and walked back upstairs.

Luke was putting his cap on his wet head when she got up there. "Took a shower with me?" She pouted.

He laughed softly and gave her a kiss. "Bye."

"Love ya!" She said already naked in the bathroom.

"You too." He said smiling. Never gets old.

8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888

"Morning." Lorelai said brightly to Michel.

"On time?" Michel gasped.

"Shut yo mouth foo'." Lorelai said. "I'm doing a half day today Rory's coming." She smiled.

"Oh yeah normal one in the family's coming?" He asked.

"She is not normal! She's obsessive and compulsive and….I've run out of adjectives." She said sighing.

"Normal?" He tried.

"Far from it." She said going into her office. "Nobody is to come in." She said shutting the door. She locked in because she knew Michel didn't even try to hear her.

Ten minutes later she heard a knock. She let out a frustrated groan and unlocked it walking back to her desk. "COME IN!" She yelled scribbling something onto a paper.

"You alright?" Sookie asked worried.

"Fine." Lorelai said.

"You sure? Cause Michel said you didn't want any visitors and you seem into your work and…"She trailed off looking Lorelai absorbed into her work. "I'm talking to wall." She said shutting the door.

"What…huh…no!" She said looking up.

"Are you sure you're ok? A fight with Luke?" Sookie asked.

"No." Lorelai said. "I just need to get all this work done before noon. Rory's spending the weekend here but she's spending this morning and tomorrow morning to Lane and Jess and other people." She ranted. "So I only get afternoons and I need to get this done before the after noon." She said getting back to her work.

Sookie nodded. "Here." She said handing her some coffee.

"You are the best friend ever." She said gulping down coffee.

"Enjoy your time with Rory." Sookie said smiling shutting the door.

An hour later another knock on the door. "Come in." She said almost finished with her work.

"You work to hard." She heard from the door.

She got up from her chair. "Not as hard as you work." She smirked giving him a kiss.

"Really?" He asked placing his hands on her hips.

"Oh yeah." She said leaning in for a kiss. "You know." She said breaking apart.

"I know a lot of things." He said leaning down sucking on her earlobe.

"Really?" She asked finding it hard to concentrate.

"Mmhmm." He said sucking on the skin beneath her ear.

"Don't...hickie." But her words were lost and his lips found hers again. She pulled apart breathless.

"What were you saying about a hickie?" He asked innocently.

She giggled and let her arms hang loose around his neck. "I don't seem to remember. But since you know everything you should remember." She said pushing him down on the sofa so she could sit down.

"I forgot." He shrugged playing with her hair. "Have I ever told you how much I love your hair?" He asked.

"Maybe." She giggled and the door burst open and Lorelai jumped a foot high landing on her butt on the floor.

"Lorelai go make out with your boyfriend later." Michel said.

Lorelai got up and looked behind her. "That hurt." She pouted. "What do you need?" She asked.

"Some frantic girl came in. She said she doesn't need a room or anything but she needs to talk to you." Michel said sarcastically.

Lorelai sighs and nods running her fingers through her hair trying to look presentable but not working, she moves her hair over her ear so nobody can see the hicky, and walks out followed by Luke.

She stops short and Luke bumps into her. "Aw jeez Lorelai." He said. He looked over her shoulder and there sitting impatiently staring at them with an expression somebody can only read as jealousy was: Anna.

"Anna." Lorelai chocks out.

An: gunna end here. Tired. I'll have the next chapter up soon.
